Skype on ACER Aspire One D257 - Windows 7 Starter

I have installed Skype 5.8 on my new Netbook, but when the sign in screen comes up it is blank i.e., the user and password boxes are not there. I have tried some of the recommendations included in the blogs but they don't work. Should I uninstall and install an earlier version that works with Windows 7 starter. Please help me solve this problem.
